2nd Grade Technology CoTeaching
This week second graders synthesized their civic learning about roles, rights, and responsibilities using Adobe Spark Video. Students identified specific roles, rights, and responsibilities in locations around Gold Rush. Then as writers they took the time to pick out meaningful teaching graphics, wrote essential ideas in captions, and then elaborated on the ideas when they added their voices to the slides.

See sample presentations by our 2nd graders below.
